| LjL | which delta+? by now delta has a fair amount of offspring that i know little about | 01:50 |
| LjL | and which tends to be called obscure names like AY.number | 01:50 |
| sdfgsdfgs | how bad could side effects be, I was only worried about myocarditis and losing a bit from my lifespan | 01:50 |
| LjL | sdfgsdfgs, for myocarditis i would simply follow de-facto's recommendation of keeping my level of physical activity low (at least not strenuous exercise) for a week or two | 01:52 |
| sdfgsdfgs | before or after ? | 01:52 |
| LjL | losing time from your lifespan... i don't know about that, really... but there are studies about COVID shortening telomeres, so, consider that :P | 01:52 |
| LjL | after | 01:52 |
| LjL | because myocarditis is usually mild and resolves by itself | 01:52 |
| LjL | but if you do strenuous exercise while having myocarditis, without knowing that you have it, then it may cause... worse things | 01:53 |
| LjL | (like you know, a heart attack) | 01:53 |

| LjL | that was from CVST though which is a rare side effect that was found with AZ and even more rarely J&J but i don't think it was confirmed for mRNA vaccines | 01:59 |
| sdfgsdfgs | ok, earlier on I thought myocarditis was like cardiomyopathy | 01:59 |
| LjL | if you get an mRNA vaccine, honestly the chances of thrombosis may not necessarily be lower than adenovirus vaccines, for all i know, but the chances of *that* particular, devastating kind of thrombosis probably are | 02:00 |
